That's so very pretty! Is the sepia process difficult? I bought what I needed to try it, but never have - feels intimidating trying it alone for the first time. This is so nice.

Well, I'm going to answer like this... I find anything I desire that remains undone or uattempted seems daunting at first, but in reality it is rather simple.

I got headed in the right direction thanks to Andrew Moxom's instructions. Basically you will want to experiment with different dilutions and time on the bleaching step. Stock bleach seems way too strong for most prints. On this one I think I diluted bleach 1:3

Maybe today is the right day to get started!

this is a very innocently intimate portrait of two lovely girls. The high key treatment and sepia toning complement the picture perfectly.

Thank you guys for these comments. Reading them makes me strongly consider doing more portraiture work. To be brief, I feel very clumsy making photographs of humans, but with results that cause others to come forth with positive comments it sure is encouraging!!
